Description Sorta over-stimulated right now... I had a bunch of half-done sketches and this was the product of one of them... The ever-so-lovely Erykah Badu in a sorta goddess-type state (she already sorta is, but I just exaggerated on it a little bit).
I found a pic on her myspace page that I dug, and I drew it out on paper first to get a feel for what I wanted to do and then just re-drew it in Illustrator alongside the pic.

Joe,
Another very cool piece! The ovals making the hair is very simple, yet works quite well and gives it a groovy 60's feel.

Yeah the likeness isn't completely there. I wanted to get a little cartoonish and abstract with it.
